Parties

Are you stuck for a new idea for your child's birthday party? Our Children's parties are an ideal and fun way for little ones to spend their birthday. Parties can be held in the shop,  allowing you to leave your children safely to enjoy themselves. Alternatively, if you prefer, we can host a party in your own home.

We will hold parties for children from ages six upwards and find that groups of no more than six work best. Prices start from £12.00 per child and last for around an hour. Each party project is decided upon after discussion with you and your child. If you are unsure of what to choose then naturally you will be advised as to the most suitable project for your child's age.

All children will leave with a mini beadie goodie bag.

* A 50% Non - refundable deposit is required to secure your booking with the balance payable on the day of the party.
* To Book Please call 0131 228 5058, or simply call into The Little Bead Shop Edinburgh.

Parties are not just for children! We offer adult parties too. Whether you are celebrating a special event or just fancy getting together with friends, our adult beading parties are a great, creative way to spend the evening.  You'll have fun in a relaxed atmosphere and learn a new skill at the same time. You don't need any previous experience and you will receive friendly tuition as you create your masterpiece!

The Little Bead Shop supplies your wire and findings, you purchase your beads on the night. There is a four person minimum so gather at least three others to schedule a party. We have a maximum of six places.  Cost is £15.00 per person, and parties last for two hours. Call 0131 228 5058 for further details.

Bring your wine and nibbles and have a great night out!
